Multiscale Fourier descriptor for shape classification

چکیده
The description of the object shape is an important characteristic of the image. In image processing and pattern recognition, several different shape descriptors are used. In human visual perception, the shapes are processed in multiple resolutions. Therefore multiscale shape representation is essential in the shape based image classification and retrieval. In the description of the object shape, the multiresolution representation provides also additional accuracy to the shape classification. In this paper we introduce a new descriptor for shape classification. This descriptor is called multiscale Fourier descriptor, and it combines the benefits of Fourier descriptor and multiscale shape representation. This descriptor is formed by applying Fourier transform to the coefficients of wavelet transform of the object boundary. In this way the Fourier descriptor can be presented in multiple resolutions. We make classification experiments using three image databases. The classification results of our method are compared to those of Fourier descriptors.

Representing 3D models in diverse fields have automatically paved the way of storing, indexing, classifying, and retrieving 3D objects. Classification and retrieval of 3D models demand that the 3D models represent in a way to capture the local and global shape specifications of the object. This requires establishing a 3D descriptor or signature that summarizes the pivotal shape properties of th...

The aim of the General Shape Analysis (GSA) is to find one or a few most similar general templates for a processed object — exact identification is not performed, but the general shape features are obtained. The GSA approach may be applied for coarse separation of objects in the database prior to their classification or in the case when the data are incomplete or there is a high variability wit...
متن کاملGeneric Fourier descriptor for shape-based image retrieval
Shape description is one of the key parts of image content description in MPEG-7. Most of existing shape descriptors are usually either application dependent or non-robust, making them undesirable for generic shape description. In this paper, a generic Fourier descriptor (GFD) is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of existing shape representation techniques. The proposed shape descriptor is der...

In this paper, we introduced a new way to analyze the shape using a new Fourier based descriptor, which is the smoothed derivative of the phase of the Fourier descriptors. It is extracted from the complex boundary of the shape, and is called the smoothed group delay (SGD). The usage of SGD on the Fourier phase descriptors, allows a compact representation of the shape boundaries which is robust ...
